TOY FOR BOUND GAMES.

Application filed September 2, 1921. Serial 1%. 497,997.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ERNST BERNHARD GUS- TAV FAHLMAN, a citizen of the Km dom of hweden, residing at Harnosand, weden,

have invented a new and useful Toy for Round Games, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a toy for round game. Said toy consists of a trough-shaped basin having a central conical elevation the topsurfaceof which is slightly concave. Formed at the edges or at the corners of the basin are slightly concave recesses adapted to receive balls which may be given, as by means of a cue or the like, a push so as to roll down into the basin and up the 'side of the conical elevation and, provided the; push was properly adjusted and directed, push away the ball placed on the top of said elevation and come to rest on said top.

In the drawing, Fig. lis a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 2 is a diagonal vertical section thereof on a larger scale.

\Vith reference to the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates the basin proper, while 2 is the central conical elevation in said basin. The top surface of said elevation is as shown slightly concave. Formed at the corners of the basin are concave recesses '3 adapted to receive balls 4. While in the embodiment shown the recesses are situated at the same level as that of the top of the elevation 2, it should be understood, however, that the recesses 3ma-y be situated at a level different from that of the top of the elevation 2.

The toy is used in the following manner: On the top of the elevation 2 there is placed a ball 5. Another ball4 is placed by .the player in any of the recesses 3. The problem 40 is now to give the said last-mentioned ball, as by means of a one or the like, a push that will cause the ball 4: to roll downinto the basin and up the side of the conical elevation pushing away the ball 5 and coming to rest on the; top of the elevation 2. Y

The basin 1 is rectangular, as shown, but mag also be of another appropriate shape.

aving thus particularly described and ascertained my invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is 1 A toy for round game comprising a plate having a trough-shaped basin formed in its upper surface, and a central conical elevation rising from the bottom of said basin the top surface of said elevation being slightly concave to receive. a ball, and concave recesses being also provided near the edge of the plate said recesses being adapted to each receive one ball.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name.

ERNST BERNHARD GUSTAV FAIHLMAN.
